Gold and silver generally move in sync with each other and tend to move in the same direction. The relationship is such that there’s even an indicator that measures it – the gold/silver ratio. Many investors use the ratio to spot extremes in the pricing of either precious metal, and to spot trends, whether up or down. The ratio currently sits at approx. 80:1 and suggests that silver has some catching up to do.

The current meltdown of the world’s debt bubble is likely to continue in the course of the next months and Hugo Salinas Price, Mexican business magnate, investor, and philanthropist and the president of the Mexican Civic Association for Silver, believes that the salvaging all debt and derivatives might require a gold price as high as between $22,000 and $50,000 per ounce. Here's his rationale.

The 70s pattern for silver is very similar to the pattern that currently exists. Therefore, I do not think it is wishful thinking that silver will reach the target of $675 as a minimum. Now, you have an opportunity to go back in time to 1978, without a “time-machine,” and make a similar but bigger gain.

Fibonacci retracements are technical indicators that help predict when, and to what extent, price reversals are most likely to occur.

The output gap is a critical concept in economics that measures the real economy today relative to trend potential....and the biggest question in the economy today is how long will it take to close the gap.

Wealth preservation and insurance against imploding assets and all the risks around the world means owning gold. Gold is the ultimate protection against this Great Financial Catastrophe. It is not just a must to hold physical gold. It is how and where it is held that is absolutely critical.

While governments have consistently damaged their economies ever further, the house of cards, however shaky, is still standing. If and when the markets crash and currencies collapse, however, there will be a dramatic rise in the price of gold. Here's why.

Intrinsic value does not mean that the product may have value for some time, or even for a long time. Instead, intrinsic value denotes value forever, i.e. a value that remains relatively unchanged and equal to the same amount today as it was thousands of years ago. Words: 598

If you’re a speculator in precious metals, now may be a good time to consider trading in some gold for silver. Here's why.

The silver market is only 1/10th the size of the gold market so it’s prone to crisis-driven upside explosions as money floods into it during periods of high inflation and, today, the stage is set for an explosion in inflation. I expect it to kick off a crisis-driven mania into silver like what happened in 1980 and, adjusted for today’s prices, that means silver soaring above $160 a [troy] ounce.
